What would a 'Foundation Model' for ecology look like? In our new preprint, we explore this emerging idea & outline a roadmap for foundation models in Ecology (ecoFMs)👇 Really great working with @rachelparkinson.bsky.social @hcerbone.bsky.social @polarprem.bsky.social et al doi.org/10.32942/X2V...

I’m excited to share that our paper, “EcoCast: A Spatio-Temporal Model for Continual Biodiversity and Climate Risk Forecasting,” was presented at the Tackling Climate Change with Machine Learning Workshop at #NeurIPS2025 (One of the premier ML conferences). www.climatechange.ai/papers/neuri...
